Omega Speedmaster "Ed White" 105.003

The Omega Speedmaster is one of the most famous watches in the world. Since its launch in 1957, there have been many changes, improvements, case shapes, and limited editions, and the watch that was the first to land on the moon is rightly famous and popular. The one that preceded the Moonwatch is also huge in terms of popularity and importance; this watch is referred to as the “Ed White”. A simple classic design, and a famous movement, or mechanism, the Calibre 321, led to great popularity among collectors.

The fact that the Omega Speedmaster qualified to become the official watch issued to astronauts at NASA, the US Space Agency, is well known. The toughness of the tests it had to pass is not.This model, the Reference 105.003, entered the history books and is now known as the “Ed White”.

Ed White was an early member of the NASA Astronaut program in the 1960s. He is remembered for being the first American to “walk” in space. This means he undertook activities outside the small spacecraft in which he was orbiting the Earth.

This Ed White is in spectacular condition, perhaps one of the finest ever seen at LTF. The dial, bezel, bracelet and case are in museum-worthy condition.
The 1035 bracelet / enndlinks n°6, moreover, is one of the rarest of the 105,003 and on the wrist, thanks to the quality of conservation of the dial and case, it looks like a watch that has just come out of a time machine.

Take the best Ed White around and get ready for the next mission.
